Camp II: Ng'ozi FPS

This weekend was a weekend for celebration! First of all we had Canada Day on July 1^st; then good ol’ American Independence Day on July 4^th; and then to top it all off Malawian Independence Day was on July 6^th, which resulted in an extra day off! Most of the volunteers spent the day hiking up Mount Nkhoma which was an amazing experience. It took about three hours including many needed breaks along the way, but the view from the top was definitely worth it because it was absolutely breathtaking what with the endless Malawian landscape sprawled out in front of us! Tuesday was the first day of our two-day camp, and what a start to the camp it was! Not only did the bus not start for the first 15 minutes, but we then got a little lost on the way to the school! After about 30 minutes and some very bumpy roads, we arrived at our second school. The first day went well, but was a bit rushed, as we were all a bit off our regular schedules. The second day found us getting there on time, but again somehow we were still behind schedule; however, the presentations at the end of the day went well and both the teachers and all the students seemed to have had a lot of fun, so all-in-all it was a success! Tionana!
